Nine domestic flights from Haneda are bound for Akita
every day. Five flights by All Nippon Airways, four by Japan
Air Lines, each takes about an hour to Akita. Airports in Osaka,Nagoya, and Sapporo are also connected to Akita Airport by
several flights per day. Ground travel is also enjoyable by taking
a four-hour bullet train "Super Komachi" from Tokyo Station.

ICMR 2017 AKITACALL FOR PAPERS
The conference has inherited an initial concept from the first 1991
conference expressing that “the beneficial integration of separate ideas invarious and traditional engineering fields into a new concept could provide
sustainable development for human society”.
In the forthcoming eighth 2017 conference, following topics will behighlighted in eight sessions including the special program for resource
development technology:（1）Strategy of Environment, Resource, andEnergy for Sustainable Development（2）Development of New Recycling
System for Rare Metals and Rare Earth Metals（3）Construction Materials
for Sustainable Development（4）Advanced Materials for Sensors andInformation Storage（5）Computer Engineering and Materials Engineeringfor Resources（6）Strategy of Life Science for Sustainable Development（7）Processing and Characterization of Functional Materials（8）Earth Scienceand Resource Development Technology（Special Sessions of Akita
University Leading Program “New Frontier Leader Program for Raremetals and Resources”）
Topics in the 8th conference listed above are indicative. Authors are,therefore, allowed to submit papers on other topics when to relate to themain concept of the conference. Accepted communications will bepresented in poster form. The proceedings shall be prepared. After
discussion at the conference, revised papers can be submitted as theoriginals for a special issue of International Journal of The Society ofMaterials Engineering for Resources.
